The Hall Director (HD) is a full-time professional staff member who will live in the residence hall and provide leadership for student staff (Resident Advisors and Front Desk staff) and students.  The Hall Director will advise student groups, co-direct living learning communities, encourage student safety and security, promote diversity and social justice and provide resources for conflict resolution.

The Resident Advisor (RA) position is essential to the success of the students in the residence hall.  The staff in Housing and Residential Life will be committed to an educational approach in order to provide for the most meaningful experience for our residents.  One of the key responsibilities of an RA is that of a multicultural community builder. The RA commits to getting to know each resident, both individually and collectively, by investing time and energy into activities and events that will help facilitate the development of positive and meaningful relationships.
